Our Mission

Kentucky Colonel

A Commission as a Colonel is the highest honor bestowed by the Commonwealth of Kentucky. It is equivalent to being made a Knight by the Sovereign of the United Kingdom.

The Central & Southern Honorable Order of Kentucky Colonels take our roles seriously as Goodwill Ambassadors and aides-de-camp(on the staff of) the Governor/Commander-in-Chief of the Commonwealth of Kentucky.

When you meet a Colonel, you can assume you are with a kindred spirit, someone who goes that extra step in kindness, goodwill, fellowship, and pride in the Commonwealth of Kentucky.

As an active member of the Honorable Order, we also active in our communities, working, and fundraising for charities and other good causes.

Any commissioned Colonel in our 26 county operating area is welcome to attend our meetings and help us elevate the Southern and Southeastern Regions of the Commonwealth to new heights.
